Speaker: Well, now that you have all finished your exams and are waiting eagerly—well, perhaps not too eagerly—for the results, it’s time for this presentation on "Reverse Culture Shock". Yes, just when you thought you had got over your culture shock in the UK, you arrive home and find yourself going through it all over again! In fact, moving back to your home environment after being away can be more of a culture shock than the UK was. You expect your home to be thoroughly familiar to you, but instead you may find you experience it differently. You will probably re-evaluate your own culture in terms of what you have experienced here.
Here are some of the surprising differences you may notice when you
return home. First, your friends and family may not
share
your new attitudes. Q31
Second, you may have less
privacy and independence
than you had as a student. Q32
Third, people may be less interested in hearing about your experiences
abroad than you would like. To them, your life in the UK may seem remote
and rather irrelevant. Fourth, other people may be intimidated by your impressive
qualifications, or may envy you your opportunities. Lastly, you may
feel pressure from your family to be
successful
in your career, and to show Q33
your gratitude for the investment they have made in you.
At work, you may find routines more rigid and disciplined than you have expected, especially after the freedom of being a student. People at work may resist the new ideas and practices you have learned. Your suggestions may seem like major innovations in your home country. There may be changes in your group of family and friends—people may have married and had children, some may have moved away, and new people may have moved into your circle.
The important point to remember is that, just as initial culture shock
is an entirely normal reaction, so is "reverse culture shock". You may go
through the following phases. One. Excitement about going home. Two. Rapidly
changing emotions as you
cope with changes
and find out how different Q34
reality is from your expectations. Three.
Gradual re-acceptance
of your home Q35
culture. Finally, a broader perspective in which you can appreciate the
value Q36
and limitations
of both the cultures you now know.
Here are five ways to reduce reverse culture shock. One. While you are
in the UK, keep in touch with
friends and family
back home, and with other Q37
people from your own country who are in the UK. Two. Read newspapers
and magazines from your home country so that you know about important
news and developments
. Three. Before you leave, get the addresses of the Q38
friends you have made in the UK so you can keep in touch. Four. When you
get home, give yourself time to readjust to life there—and give your friends
and family time to readjust to the new you. The longer you have been away,
the more both you and your home environment will have changed. Five. Stay
in contact with anyone who lives near you and has also studied abroad—
sharing experiences will help a great deal. You can contact your institution’s
alumni association and ask them to put you in touch with any former students
who live in your area.
You will recover from reverse culture shock in time, and settle back
into life in your home country. But that does not mean you should sever your
connections with the UK. Your experience here will have provided you with
a network of valuable
social, academic and business
contacts that you can Q39
carry through the rest of your life. And you will probably—hopefully—find
that you have developed a lasting fondness for the UK and its culture. There
are a number of ways that you can nurture these relationships, but I recommend
going through your alumni association. The alumni association at your
college or university is an association for former students which can offer
a range of services to keep you feeling connected, including sending you
newsletters and mailings
to keep you informed about your institution and its Q40
staff, including updates on what your fellow students are doing, putting you
in touch with other former students who live in your area, either individually
or through alumni groups, letting you know about reunions and other special
events and putting you in touch with other people in your area who are thinking
of studying at your institution, so you can share your experience with
them. Now ...
